BUTTE, Oct 24.-President CLARK. Of
the Board OF trade, has received dispatch
from general manager Potter, of the I'm

the freight rate on salt from Utah points
to Butte will be So per ton; added to this
the cost of salt about So per ton and it will
make the cost, laid down here, s12. which
Is reduction of $3. It is not probable
that this rate will be considered sufficient
to justly the Alice in starting up, but Il
will make considerable difference to thn

gives the mills an opportunity to buy salt

make an additional saving.

Gen. Pryor arrived at Fort Custer Sunday.

morrow. Eight p. IN. One troop of cav

Seventh cavalry, Captain Moylan, and
company E, Fifth infantry, Capt Ewers,
left this morning for Cheyenne agency on
Tongue river. Three companies of infant
m under Major Snyder leave tonight for
Fort Custer. They go by rail to Custer
station thence overland to the Crow agen-
cy.
BILLINGS, October 25.-The troops from
Keogh reached the Crow agency and
Custer last night. General Ruger. with
an escort of seventy soldiers has arrived
at the latter place also. Should Sword
Bearer persuade the Cheyennes to join
him, there are fears felt for the safety of
settlers and stockmen on Tongue and
Rosebud rivers. The snow fall and very
cold weather now prevailing may chill the
ardor OF the hostiles. The government is
moving the military line from Custer.
